NBA Draft Lottery 2016: Winners and Losers

These are the winners and losers of the 2016 NBA Draft lottery.

After much anticipation, the 2016 NBA Draft Lottery stayed in the same order without even changing. While that might have disappointed some, it was still exciting, as there are some interesting teams at the top of the draft.

After years of tanking in hopes of securing the top pick in the draft, the Philadelphia 76ers will finally land the top pick and will have their chance between Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram with the No. 1 overall pick.

Right behind them are the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns, all of whom who could stand to benefit from this draft as well. While this draft certainly has its fair share of winners, there are also teams that didn’t benefit from not moving in the lottery and that means that they could very well continue to toil in mediocrity.

It’s easy to point out the winners and attempt to point out the losers, but ultimately it will be the players on the court that determine just who the winners and losers really are.

As of now, these are the winners and losers of the 2016 NBA Draft Lottery.
